natural spring in Texas. Three acres in
size, the pool is fed from underground
springs and is on average, 68 degrees
year-round. Over the years, Barton
Springs Pool has drawn people from all
walks of life, from legislatures who have
concocted state laws there to free-spirited,
topless sunbathers who turned head in the
1970s. Robert Redford learned to swim
at the pool when he was 5 years old
while visiting his mother’s relative in
Austin. Today, Barton Springs still attracts
a diverse crowd of people.
